Apparently according to The Grimm Campaign (I haven't watched it yet) Qrow is exactly that, he’s a well known, celebrity Huntsman.
I’ve seen a few people on here justify people not recognizing him on sight by comparing him to Tony Hawk, you know the name but not the face, or you don’t recognize him unless he’s doing Hunter stuff.
Glynda should have equivalent levels of fame, even if she’d realistically be known more for being Deputy Headmistress of Beacon.
Other than that, it’d have to be filed under ‘when would they talk about that’ like @pugsanity brought up. Like, how often do you just talk about famous people with the people you hang out or live with?
I find it weird that there aren't any celebrities in RWBY.
Sure, Pyrrha was a known fighter but only Weiss knew about her because she cares about upper class/talented people.
Where are all the famous singers and writers? Surely someone wrote Blake's favorite books.And why don't more people document Grimm species? The only memorable book that talks in detail about that is the one about the apathy, and that was just a farm log record.
There should be tons of famous authors that are/were famous hunters, yet we have no records of their specific adventures.
And what about music bands? You're telling me there aren't any huntsmen/singer idol groups out there? Team SSSN would make a great boyband!
Its like anyone that's influential/important is either a criminal, in the military, or a politician, and any form of artistry is relegated to "common" people and not talked about.
Be nice to Hachishaku-sama, she’s not as tall but she can run as fast as a van.
Lady Alcina probably can’t do that...
Hachishakusama (8 feet tall demon woman): That's a big mommy~
RE8 Vampire lady (over 9 feet tall): That's a bigger mommy~
Someone else remembers this story!
Really wish SleepinEyes didn’t vanish...
That’s probably accurate and its a great thing. But I just keep getting distracted by how weird the modeling for Emerald’s hair looks from this angle.
Would Jaune even attack Oscar if Pyrrha survived though?
Most of Jaune’s animosity for Ozpin and his group seemed to come from Jaune reading the whole Maiden thing as a sort-of guilt-trip Pyrrha got stuck in.
I might be remembering wrong though.
I still firmly believe that Pyrrha would've come to adore Oscar if she'd lived long enough to meet him. I can picture her mothering him so badly, concerned about whether he's getting his vitamins and nutrients, or if he's getting enough sleep, or if he's homesick... *sigh* I miss her.
Oh, she definitely would be a member, if not the leader, of OPPS, dear anon. I wonder how would that work with Nora's personality? I've seen people viewing her as his "mom" or "sister" and I can't really choose which one is better XD
I think Pyrrha would also treat Oscar similarly to Jaune in v1-3 - provide mental support, train with him, protect if necessary etc. Not to mention Pyrrha being alive would change sooo many things. We can only speculate about what would go differently. And I can certainly picture Oscar looking up to her.
I miss Pyrrha too, dear anon. She was a sweet character and it would be fun to see her saving the world with her friends. Now the only thing we have left is letting her rest and move forward.
Blake: This is... Progress?
Emerald: I hate this.
Yang: I love this.
Jaune, hitting Cinder over the head with a door: I a-DOOR you!
Cinder, rubs her head: aksdsj!
Cinder, picks up a frying pan and hits Jaune with it: I love you with a BURNING passion!!
Jaune, grabs a vase and breaks it over Cinders head: My heart BREAKS when you’re away!
Cinder, grabs a tall lamp and hits him in the chest with it: You are the LIGHT of my life!!
Jaune, falls to the floor: EYUGH!
Or Libreoffice, if it’s more your thing.
Hey, guys! I'm back with another RWBY Fan-fic idea! But instead of telling you, I'll let you read some dialogue from the story...
"Hey, Jaune," Yang wearily greeted, shivering from being soaked head to toe outside of Jaune's door, "uh, I kinda need a favor from ya." In her arms, she held a soggy blanket.
And in the blanket, wheezed a dark-haired girl with wolf ears.
"You stupid mutt!" The others whimpered and cowered in the corner as he kicked her in her ribs. "When I tell you to eat, you fuckin' eat!" Every yelp was treated with another kick, and every kick with another yelp.
Jaune looked at his arm. The wound was deep, if the oozing dark red was any indication. He hissed through his teeth as he ran to the kitchen. Where was that damn first aid kit?!
"Zha-Zha!" Ruby yelled with excitement. She bounced up and down at the sight of her best friend as he walked to the front door. She began scratching and barking at the door, eagerly waiting for her sister to open it.
"You can't control me." Ruby tore off the collar, a steely look in her eyes. "Not anymore."
Ever since it was introduced Maidenhood has screamed ‘more trouble than it’s worth’ to me. You get a bit of a power boost but you still lose fights, and everyone now wants to find or fight you. You end up a over-pressured and paranoid mess.
Penny, honestly, was the one exception they could have convinced me on, it serves her arc in a way they couldn’t do most other ways, and they handled it’s effects well, through Fria’s choice through this episode.
It also seems a bit too obvious? Nora less so because the most obvious would be Team RWBY all getting magic.
Can we leave the Winter maiden Nora theory in V7 where it died? Y'all are really hoping Penny dies just so your personal fav can get a power up.
Penny's not dying again, she's already a real girl, and her arc would make no sense if she lost the powers. She'd be running from her conflict, not resolving it.
Nora already has an arc about identity issues and giving her the responsibilities of a maiden would make that worse. Let her figure out who she is as an individual.
Good points on all fronts. A ton of people say Jaune should have a sidearm, but it just works better if it has an emotional meaning instead of just a practical one. It would be cute if Neo gave Jaune a little boot knife or something.
For Neo, if you were restarting it tomorrow, I’d say to just have her grab a spare cane of Roman’s, or spare parts? Have her rebuild it into a heavy derringer or flintlock thing, would suit her aesthetic more.
I have a question or rather a wish for a secondary weapon for jaune from volume 1 practically ... so if jaune and neo are together I couldn't teach him to use something like a dagger or a hidden weapon in his clothes something like the hidden dagger by assasincred (or whatever you type) or a pistol like the RK5 from COD
I agree Jaune could use some kind of variable attacks. Once I started writing for the characters, I realized how limited he can be. However, Jaune’s weapons have followed his character growth pretty well.
Vol 1-3, Jaune began with the hand-me-down that his great great grandfather used to ‘fight in the war’ because he didn’t go to a combat school to make his own weapon. He faked his way into Beacon. He had to fake his weapon too, and probably snagged the one thing on the wall he could use.
Vol 4-6, Jaune uses Miló and Akoūo to reinforce his shield and armor. The weapon can now become a longsword, focusing all of his defense into an offensive weapon. Why? Because he didn’t care about what happened to himself anymore, he cared about fighting Cinder again. He even says in the Vol 5 finale that his life didn’t matter anymore.
Vol 7-8, we see Jaune shift away from offense (after his talk at Pyrrha’s statue with her mother) and focus on leading his team and defense. His shield can now cover 3 people easily, the gravity dust can repel anyone who gets close, and the shield grenade can protect the people he cares about that he can’t reach in time.
If anything, I feel like Jaune might take Vine’s suggestion in extending his aura into his weapons. One possibility being what Qrow does. We saw in Vol 4 that Qrow can swing his sword at Tyrian and a building a dozen yards away loses its roof. And those gusts of air as Jaune swung his sword to Pyrrha’s videos might be the start of that
As for Neo There’s this scene in my fic where she and Jaune go to meet Lil’ Miss Malachite. In my original version, Neo buys an ice dust pistol from her, expecting to have to deal with Cinder’s fire attacks. While expanding her range considerably, it didn’t feel right for her character. I’ve been considering incorporating a dust launcher like Roman had to her repertoire but we’ll see what Atlas has in store for her
I wouldn't be surprised if they played it as Klein having been an Atlas 'military' doctor. He'd beat up grim with old-timey sailor boxing.
Klein punches the hound in the face
Blake: Girls, girls, hey... Are anyone else's clothes just really itchy? I think, I think I should just leave them off. Just for time in the dorm, you know?
Weiss: BLAKE! STOP! BE DECENT!
Blake: *Shirt already gone, trying to shake her pants off without standing* We should all be doing this, sisterhood, no secrets. I don’t care if my friends can see my ears or my ass or my piercings.
Yang: *Covering Ruby’s eyes* Weiss! Stop squealing and close the curtains! Wait, what’s pierced?
Ruby: Yang let go of my face!
Blake: Ruby please. You need to call Team JNPR over. We’ll need to cuddle them for, for warmth when it gets cold tonight...
Weiss: BLAKE LET GO OF ME!
Blake: *Tugging on Weiss’s skirt* TELL THEM THEY NEED TO BRING FOOD WITH THEM! NIGHTS ARE WAY LONGER DURING WINTER!
Yang: Damn it guys!! Who left the catnip out again!? You know Blake isn’t allowed near it unsupervised!
Blake: *On cloud 69*
